Correction: That's because they are not part of his shirt. Look at when he takes off his pants, his shirt always stays with it but his sleeves never seem to be part of it. Chalk it up to another mystery of the show.

Lummie

Correction: The tan is more of a visual joke and fits into the show's constant use of making a character look one way for a very brief albeit instant change before reverting back to how they originally looked. Examples include Patrick looking much fatter and with more armpit hair before returning to his normal weight and less armpit hair.

Lummie

Correction: How can you tell? We just see it breaking.

Pizza Delivery / Home Sweet Pineapple - S1-E5

Corrected entry: At certain points at the end of "Home Sweet Pineapple," Squidward is drawn differently than he is in any other episode. His forehead is bigger, his torso is smaller and his legs are ridiculously long. This is most noticeable when he says, "Today SpongeBob moves. I can't believe it's really happening" and when he is celebrating and doing backflips right before SpongeBob's house comes back.

Movie_Freak 1

Correction: Maybe they had a different artist. This isn't a mistake, if anything it is trivia.

Correction: It is morning when SponeBob first notices about his pineapple, but then he spends all day trying to fix it.

Correction: The phrase, "In the next scene", defies the entry. Squidward slipped on the shirt between the two scenes.

Correction: This is because Spongebob and Patrick and in their backyards, so you are actually seeing the backs of their houses.

Sleepy Time / Suds - S1-E15

Corrected entry: In "Suds", we see that there's a mountain at the back of the Krusty Krab. I think it's obvious that the mountain isn't in any other episodes of the show.

Correction: The mountain is added for comedic value and many other landmarks in Spongebob change simply for the same reason. However in another episode, Spongebob races Sandy down the hill and the hill is behind the Krusty Krab.

Lummie

Correction: This isn't really trivia. It is an obvious observation.

moviemogul

Correction: Thats not trivia. Its merely an obvious observation.

Lummie

Correction: There is only one "blow up the arms" hole which is on his right arm. If he blows into one it blows up the other one two.

Correction: If you look VERY carefully, you will see him in the wider shot.

Correction: The scene is primarily just a collection of quick cuts and in turn we only see a bit of whats going on. We just don't see them paying, but in many of the shots of Spongebob in the kitchen they could have given the money to Krabs. Before Spongebob returned to the restaurant they might have even paid the money and was the reason they were getting so restless.

Lummie

Correction: No, they were always ripped at the back. After he rips them off, they kind of fall apart so that the ripped parts end up on the sides, giving the illusion that they were ripped at the sides.

Correction: Pearl isn't angry with Spongebob for ruining her dream. She's angry because Spongebob just popped in and disturbed her dream, only for him to leave immediately saying he was looking for Mr. Krabs' dream.

SB-129 / Karate Choppers - S1-E14

Corrected entry: Squidward goes into the past and shows how to catch claims. When he returns into the present, he asks who invented that game of catching claims. SpongeBob and Patrick answer with the truth, Squidward was the one that invented it. However, how can SpongeBob and Patrick know this, if more than a million years have passed? It's impossible that the SpongeBob and Patrick of the past told everybody that Squidward invented that game and the story survived a million years, making SpongeBob to know that Squidward was the inventor.

Correction: The most likely theory is that the information of what Squidward looked like was passed on over generations. In the scene they don't say Squidward's name but when asked who created the game they say "You are!". That didn't mean Squidward's name was passed on over time but his image would have been and two and two together they linked it to being Squidward.

Lummie

Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7

Corrected entry: In "Jellyfish Jam" when Squidward calls Spongebob's house, a jellyfish answers, and Squidward yells in the phone saying, "square headed assault on my ears."(referring to SB). How come he was trying to talk to SB if he heard the jellyfish buzz, "Hello?"

Correction: Squidward hardly pauses to wait and see if it's Spongebob. He immediately starts yelling at him as soon as its picked up. Besides he may not be able to tell with the noise that it was jellyfish buzz to begin with.

Lummie

Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7

Corrected entry: At the beginning of "Hall Monitor", Mrs. Puff says it's time to choose the Hall monitor of the day, leading us to the assumption that a new hall monitor is chosen every day. However, directly in the sentence afterward, she says she is choosing that week's hall monitor.

Correction: Mrs Puff never makes mention of it being only for the day. She says to begin with "Now its time to choose the new hall monitor". A few shots later she says "The new hall monitor for the week is.."

Lummie

Correction: Plankton only has control when he is using the controls whilst inside Spongebob. Throughout the scene Spongebob has some control but not enough to get away. With Plankton out of his mind he regained full control of himself.

Lummie

Correction: Spongebob never said he didn't have the fifty cents he just didn't remember which pocket that he put it in and while searching for it he kept hitting the bus driver with his balloon and out of frustration the driver tells him to forget it.

The Secret Box / Band Geeks - S2-E14

Audio problem: At the end of "Band Geeks" when everyone is playing "Sweet Victory" at one point Mrs. Puff is shown playing the guitar. When this happens, you can see the others in the background not doing anything, even though their instruments are heard.
